Jaymoi Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 Here is a copy of the text i was sent by a friend... any suggestions as to what watch fits his requirements would be great. He has a max of $2000 to spend! "Dear Jaymoi Please see below 1. Do you want the watch purely to impress people? not purely, I want a nice watch, havingness thing, but i do want ppl to be impressed by it 2. Must the watch be a brand that everyone knows? yes 3. Are you more interested in the looks of the watch, or the movement of the watch? looks of the watch i think - unsure what you mean by movement. i guess just that it moves on the hand properly. looks then over movement 4. Do you want a "dress watch" (for tuxedo's and suits etc) or do you want a damn classy watch that you can wear everywhere? watch can wear anywhere 5. Do you want a big watch (by big i mean not fat, but the bezel would be quite large) nah i got skinny wrists so small is better. I would like to get one that looks like omars (Cartier Limited Edition Gold) - in that it has a dark brown strap with gold face but. I like them when they have the complicated dials. not just ur plain 1 - through to 12 numbers." Any suggestions and pics please send my way. Has to be gold, real gold! Moi.

FxrAndy Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 Gen Omega Aqua Terra 42mm, what ever colours that suits him, well with in his price range, every one knows omega, hard wearing, great movement, on SS for sporty and leather for dressy, if he wants gold though he could go for the gold markers.

Pugwash Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 Here is a copy of the text i was sent by a friend... any suggestions as to what watch fits his requirements would be great. He has a max of $2000 to spend! Gold fashion quartz fits the bill, unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwygant Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 I wouldn't get him anything as he will probably break the watch somehow and then ask you to fix it or get a refund. I have said it before... think twice before you get stuff for your friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Usil Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 pwygant is right. Risky business getting something for a friend. Especially a woos who wants others to make their choices for them. I would tell him to visit an AD and do some window shopping. Usil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a max of $2000 to spend! "Has to be gold, real gold! Moi. Gold SWATCH...everyone knows the name and its probably significantly more than $2000 Diaphane One Turning Gold / Geneva Store opening. Swatch has created a new, special tourbillon watch in the spirit of the Diaphane One. The new Diaphane, called Diaphane One Turning Gold, is gold - not gold-colored but real gold! More pictures of this beautiful watch: Dial / Back. The price is twice the price of the original Diaphane One special: 7700 Swiss Francs (~$6175 US). That may set a new high retail price for a Swatch product. Limitation is 100 pcs, numbered. It comes packaged in a beautiful black/golden box with an extra strap. It will be sold starting mid december in the new swatch store in Geneva, Switzerland and in FEB-2007 in selected Swatch stores in Switzerland (and probably other countries). The watch was launched on 23-NOV during the opening of a new swatch store in Geneva, Switzerland, Rue du March Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryyannon Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 Hayek's paper bag is ultimate class. Is he trading chestnuts for watches with the locals here? As for gens in solid gold, there are some interesting items that come up on the 'bay for ridiculously low prices, like this Georg Jenson: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...p;rd=1&rd=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OiRogers Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 Right up till the "Must be gold" part I was thinking Omega Speedy Moonwatch.... A timeless classic of a timepiece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youpmelone Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 Moonwatch, I second that! forget the gold. (Else go for an older rolex gold with leather band.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 Solid rose gold Muller rep. Add brown strap. Tell him to get over the need for a chrono dial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
